"Real World" lyrics

He lays awake in bed 'til dawn
Still can't believe that she is gone
So much time and all the plans they made
Don't seem right to have it end this way
But it's a hard lesson you've got to learn
One more bridge that you've got to burn
And it's bad luck when your number comes up
He's down to favors, got nothing to show
He lost it all and that's the way love goes

In the real world (Real world)
You're gonna learn a lot
In the real world
Love's a long shot

She broke his heart and what a shame
This house of cards is blowin' away
Life goes on, but it's not the same
He wants her back, but it's much too late
She was a live wire, danger and grace
She's gonna be impossible to replace
And it was so tough, but he's giving it all
He can't explain it, I guess nobody knows
It's never fair, but that's the way love goes

In the real world (Real world)
Play the hand you've got
In the real world
Love's a long shot

In the real world (Real world)
Gonna learn a lot
In the real world
Love's a long shot
In the real world
Play the hand you got
In the real world
Love's a long shot

(Real world)
(Real world)
